For a long time yum had been "much worse" than rpm for install/remove commands. Some of that was due to general fixes, but it also generally has got less love because any difference in speed was only really noticeable with small numbers of small packages (otherwise the I/O from the install/remove vastly outweighs any other part of the operation).
